Kiyosaki Forecasts 910% Bitcoin Surge to $750,000 Post-Crash
In a series of statements on March 16, investor Robert Kiyosaki laid out extreme price targets for several assets, which he believes will materialize after a major financial crisis. The 'Rich Dad Poor Dad' author predicts Bitcoin (BTC) will ascend to $750,000. Based on its March 17 price of $74,215, this would represent a 910.58% increase.
Kiyosaki extended his bullish post-crash outlook to other assets, forecasting Ethereum (ETH) will reach $95,000, a staggering 3,994% gain from its current price of $2,320. He also set targets for precious metals, with gold projected to hit $35,000 (a 598% increase from $5,012) and silver to reach $200 (a 147% increase from $80.85). He specified that these price levels would be achieved approximately one year after the market bubble bursts.
Author Warns of Imminent Market Collapse in 2026
Kiyosaki's predictions are predicated on his long-standing warning of an impending market collapse that will dwarf previous downturns. He stated on March 10 that the causes of the 2008 Global Financial Crisis were never resolved and fears the crash is now arriving in 2026. He has previously pointed to the private credit market as a potential trigger.
Reiterating his dire outlook, Kiyosaki stated a 'pin' will 'pop the biggest bubbles in history,' though he did not identify the specific catalyst. To prepare, he has consistently urged followers to invest in what he considers real assets like gold, silver, Bitcoin, and Ethereum, advising even small investors to begin by acquiring silver coins for as little as $10.
Bitcoin Climbs Past $73,700, Defying Crash Warnings
While Kiyosaki warns of doom, Bitcoin's current technical indicators show strength. On March 16, the cryptocurrency's price gained over 3% to trade at $73,700, breaking above its 50-day moving average ($71,125) for the first time in two months. Analysts view a sustained move above this key indicator as a bullish signal for the medium-term trend.
The price strength has occurred despite broader global equity turmoil, positioning Bitcoin as a resilient asset in the current environment. However, this bullish momentum runs directly counter to Kiyosaki's thesis of an imminent and devastating crash, creating a sharp divergence between short-term market technicals and his long-term catastrophic forecast.
